Five Martlet grads start in CWHL game, Sunday

News

MONTREAL - The Montreal Stars of the Canadian Women's Hockey
League, featured a rare photo opportunity for five former members
of the McGill Martlets as each of them were among the official
starting six in a home-ice win against Burlington, Sunday. Standing
at attention for the national anthem were defencemen
Catherine Ward and Carly Hill,
along with forwards Vanessa Davidson,
Rebecca Martindale and Alyssa
Cecere.

The CWHL is made up of teams in Toronto, Brampton, Burlington,
Montreal, Boston and Calgary. There was a single women's league in
Canada earlier this decade called the National Women's Hockey
League. Western teams broke away because of high travel costs. The
NWHL suspended operations in 2007 and the current CWHL rose from
the ashes, driven by the players themselves.
